Project, based on the Black List script by John Scott 3, is set at a time when a “walking dead” virus which has spread across the country. Schwarzenegger, who recently closed a deal to appear in the fifth “Terminator,” will portray the father on a journey to help his daughter come to terms with her infection as she slowly becomes a zombie.

Schwarzenegger is showing no signs of slowing down as he continues ramping up his film career following his seven years as California governor.

He will be seen in Lionsgate’s “Escape Plan” in October and David Ayer’s “Breacher,” formerly “Ten,” which Open Road launches in January. In addition to the next “Terminator,” which is aiming for a first quarter start, Schwarzenegger is reprising his role in the third “Expendables” and developing “Pump,” a drama he recently sold to Showtime.
